C loves these two nursery rhymes that I sing to him.
I taught him the Itsy-Bitsy Spider actions and song a few days back.
Some of the actions, I made up myself.
But the "itsy-bitsy spider" part (first and last line),

I used the one I learned when I was young.

And then I sang and taught to him the actions of this song,
"I have two hands, the left and the right.
Hold them up high, so clean and bright.

Clap your hands now 1, 2, 3.

Clean little hands are good to see"

I was changing his diaper earlier today

when I started singing the Itsy-Bitsy Spider.
Next thing I knew, he was doing the actions.
No, he wasn't doing the easy ones

("down came the rain and washed the spider out,"

OR

"Up came the sun and dried up all the rain...")

He was clapping on those parts,

but at the "Itsy-bitsy spider" lines

he did the action pretty well.

(you alternately point the index finger of one hand

to the thumb of the other)

It's not perfect but you can tell he was doing it.
I was so amazed.
After only a few days of teaching him.
